    Rifle Scopes Best optic under 2,000

    Re: Best optic under 2,000 Rickey, I recently asked myself the same question 2 months ago for my first long range build... I went to SWFA and looked at most of these scopes listed above (not the NF as they were out of stock)... All were nice, but I ended up buying the IOR 3-18x42 with the...

    More practicool, and less tacticool. Saving money!

    Re: More practicool, and less tacticool. Saving money! Elfster, this sounds like what I went through with my rifle over the course of 10 years. Started with a Colt HBAR. Ran it stock for 4-5 years but always hated the carry handle upper, so I sold the upper and bought a SOG A2 Upper with...

    Best rifle length free float handguards for $200

    Re: Best rifle length free float handguards for $200 The handguard is as solid as any I've handled. The fit of the handguard over the clamp is really tight, and the interface (overlap if you will) is about an inch, so plenty of area to transfer the load from the handguard into the...

    Best rifle length free float handguards for $200

    Re: Best rifle length free float handguards for $200 I forgot to mention, the rails are sold separately, and are pretty expensive, but you only need to buy those you require. The full length top rail matches perfect with the upper receiver, or you can get a short top rail if you prefer (for...

    I just purchased an IOR 3-18x42 FFP, Illuminated MP8-X1 reticle for my 300WM build. This is my first premium scope (used to only own Leupold), my first FFP, and my first mil reticle. . . . . basically a complete shift in paradigm from what I was previously used to. I received the scope and...

    Re: 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc Whoa!!! Thanks Vinson, I looked last week and the date was not posted. There is no mention if it is a team event this year or individual. Great choice on the Gunslinger II pack. I was torn between that and the Lo-Drag. . . ended up getting the...

    Re: 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc Alright, just bought my bag, Elberstock Lo-Drag, and the Tactical Tailor Mini MAV like Microsuck has shown above. I ended up getting the BlueForce Helium Whisper shingles for the pistol and AR mags. Looks like I'll be working out the kinks in...

    Fieldcraft 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc

    Re: 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc Nice Micro. What chest rig is that, I like how minimal it is. Did you have any issues with the IWB holster during the physical challenges (climbing walls, etc)? I need to check out my OWB holster and see what it's like during a hike. I wear...

    Fieldcraft 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc

    Re: 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc Airone, do you jog a portion of the drill? I jogged roughly 1.5 miles (100-200 yards at a time) with my ruck and leg rig and the leg rig bounced alot, but I didn'd find it uncomfortable (granted it was a short distance). I've been using my...

    Fieldcraft 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc

    Re: 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc Thanks for the advice micro. I hiked ~5 miles with the leg rig and it felt perfect, no issues whatsoever, but I'll keep an eye on it. There will be several more “trial runs” of longer duration before the event, so if there is an issue, I hope...

    Fieldcraft 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc

    Re: 2012 TV BugOut Drill - Training, Gear, Etc DocRDS, I honestly don’t know the "best" way to train for this. I think the important thing is to just start, and sooner is better than later. My workout is a cross-fit style, with a lot of dips, pull-ups, pushups, and MMA style fitness...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics

    Re: SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics Summer? if that's true, I may have to get the 1-4. I've put off buying a scope hoping this will be out by April-May. I'd like to attend a Tactial Carbine class before it gets hot here in Texas, but "summer" is too far out for me. SWFA, any official update would...
